Writing professional email is a skill you can apply immediately to achieve your communicative goals. To get some practice and instructor feedback, you will draft an email message.
For this assignment, you will draft a message of gratitude to someone. Expressing gratitude has proven benefits to the person expressing the gratitude (including higher levels of positive affect, improved physical well-being, and lower levels of depression and envy), to the relationship, and to society (including increased levels of reciprocal altruism and pro-social behavior). In short, expressing gratitude is good for you, for your relationships, and for society!
